The Two Mr. Darcys
Darcy in alternate-reality versions of sartorial splendor. The cravat and coat definitely win.
Makes me want to watch Bridget Jones's Diary again. And Pride and Prejudice. Not that one needs an excuse...

Jane Austen & Downton Abbey
Maggie Smith, as the acid-tongued Dowager Countess Grantham. Lady Catherine could learn a thing or two from her.

The Writing Life: Getting Yourself Out Of The Way
From a really wonderful interview in the Goodreads Young Adult Book Club with Aurelia Haslboeck, author of THE JOURNEYS OF JOHN AND JULIA: GENESIS (book 1 of the series):
The most difficult part for me [about writing] is having the discipline to sit down and
do it. There is really nothing romantic about the process of writing
itself.
I'd like to think that my characters all speak for themselves and I only take dictation.
Talk about getting yourself out of the way! Seriously the best advice ever. I am definitely going to remember this.
There are loads more gems in the interview, so do read it, and enter the giveaway! You may just win a copy of THE JOURNEYS OF JOHN AND JULIA: GENESIS! It's brilliant.

Join the livestream readathon of Pride and Prejudice today!
--Elizabeth Bennet, in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice
Today is the 200th anniversary of the publication of Pride and
Prejudice, and this quote is one of the many reasons we are still
reading it today. Austen's keen eye for the complexities of human nature is as relevant now as it was on January 28, 1813. Like the characters in this masterful work, and like we humans who are fortunate enough to read it, there is something new to be observed every time.
Want to find out for yourself what everyone's so wild about? Join the livestream readathon of Pride and Prejudice with the Jane Austen Centre in Bath, England, starting at 11 AM GMT till 11 PM GMT.
Thank you, Miss Austen, and happy birthday, P&P!
